Chapter 412: Overthinking

Translator: Vesper

Xiao Qi Feng had calmed the interruption with a few sentences, he then asked the people to carry on. He chose a few girls who were performing to enrich his harem, one of them was Wei Ke Xin. She was not chosen as the Empress, but just as an ordinary consort. She was now Consort Wei.

As a result, although it was not as what Wei Ke Xin expected, it was a step closer to her goal.

Madam Wei was initially thinking of teaching her eldest daughter a lesson when they returned, who knew her status would change. Now that she was her majesty’s imperial consort, even if she was their child, they could not simply suppress her.

”Thank you, your majesty.”

After thanking the Emperor’s grace, the palace banquet almost came to an end. Qiao Tian Chang got up and left, for such a boring banquet, he felt it was better to return home and accompany his wife.

Xiao Qi Tian also left after Qiao Tian Chang left, when Marquis Ling saw the two of them leaving, there was a gleam in his eyes, he remained silent without doing anything.

Xiao Qi Tian chased after Qiao Tian Chang at the palace entrance: “What do you think Marquis Ling is planning?” Marquis Ling and the others did not take action today, causing them to feel doubtful of what Marquis Ling was up to.

”Something should have happened on Ling Empire’s side,” Qiao Tian Chang seemed to have some thoughts as he said, other than that, he really did not know what would cause Marquis Ling to give up on such a good opportunity.

They had made plenty of preparations for the sake of making it convenient for Marquis Ling to take action, it was a pity, all of it was for naught.

Xiao Qi Tian nodded: “Perhaps so, but what do you think happened?”

”I’m not sure, father-in-law did not mention it.”

”Huh?”

”Something came up on that side, father-in-law’s people should have done something,” Qiao Tian Chang looked towards the front without shifting his gaze.

Xiao Qi Tian seemed to be lost in his thoughts when he looked at Qiao Tian Chang, he seemed to have wanted to say something, but in the end, he had kept everything inside.

”Tian Chang, you’re not worried?”

”Worried about what?” Qiao Tian Chang did not seem to understand his question.

Xiao Qi Tian sighed gently, he then told Qiao Tian Chang about his worries.

Qiao Tian Chang was dumbfounded after hearing Xiao Qi Tian’s words, he then laughed, he was unable to hold back his laughter.

”Don’t worry, father-in-law has no malicious thoughts about Xiao Empire, you have to know that Yao Yao and I are staying here. The most important point is that Yao Yao likes Xiao Empire,” Ning Meng Yao and her child was Nangong Yan’s weak spot, he definitely would consider Ning Meng Yao before doing anything.

Not to mention Nangong Yan did not have any of such thoughts, even if he did, he wouldn’t do it so brazenly. The things he was worried about were for nothing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiao Qi Tian looked at Qiao Tian Chang and still wanted to say something, but he remained silent in the end, it seemed that he was being overly worried.

If Nangong Yan really had such thoughts, he would not wait until now to take action.

”I’ve been overthinking,” Xiao Qi Tian displayed a self-mocking smile.

Qiao Tian Chang shook his head: “I understand,” It was their home, it was understandable that he was worried.

Furthermore, it involved internal strife and external aggression.

Ning Meng Yao and the others were eating when Qiao Tian Chang returned to the General’s Residence. She was surprised to see that he had returned so early: “Tian Chang, why are you back so early?”

”I came back because there’s nothing interesting,” It seems that Marquis Ling and the others would temporarily not be taking action, there was no need for him to remain and watch them put up a show.

”Hurry here and eat with us, we have only just begun.”

”Alright.”

Qiao Tian Chang walked towards Ning Meng Yao and sat beside her, they ate as they chatted.

It was all the way until late at night before everyone left. Ning Meng Yao was not feeling sleepy at all, her eyes were wide open instead.

”Not sleepy?”

”Yup, I’ve slept for a long time, I’m not very sleepy. Tian Chang, didn’t you mention Ling Residence would take action? Right now, why is it......” Ning Meng Yao wanted to ask Qiao Tian Chang about it.

He reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace while stroking her belly with one hand.

”Something might have happened in Ling Empire, that’s why they did not take action, or they might have come across some problem,” Qiao Tian Chang said while lost in thought.

Ning Meng Yao understood after hearing it, she indicated that she understood: “So that’s how it is.”

After that, she pulled him and talked for a long time, in the end, she obediently closed her eyes to rest under Qiao Tian Chang’s threat.
